King Tendulkar Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Reading an article in "India Today" magazine and it stated that "A key memeber of all three current indians teams has never been shy of saying in private that he cannot be fussed with Test cricket" Which idiot is that??? Who ever it is should be hounded out of the team pronto. It must be a player who has not really delivered in tests. Yuvraj or Dhoni are my predictions! And going by him opting out of tests to play IPL my money is on our captain! Link to comment

rahuliverpool Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Nothing wrong with it. Just his point of view. "Who ever it is should be hounded out of the team pronto"- because he has an opinion ?? It is not necessary that every one likes test cricket- be it a player or a spectator. Maybe he just prefers ODI's and T20's. Personally, I love all the three forms of the game but some don't so what's the big deal?? Link to comment

He has an opinion and we may or may not agree with him, but we got to respect his opinion. We like test cricket, but lets face it- LOI is far more popular and some players want to invest their future in it. Nothng wrong with that. Link to comment

Lord Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 it cant be Yuvraj he has always said that he desperately wants to cement a place in Test team.my guess is Dhoni too.but its little dangerous guessing.maybe India today are making stories to gain publicity.we all know how credible these new are Link to comment

Anyone who knows the publication will know its integrity. In fact they hardly discuused this, it was one sentence in a 3 page article. It was something that simply caught my eye. Link to comment

Zap_Brannigan Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So fking wht? I care less about half of my job responsibilities, but it doesn't mean i am not putting all my efforts in that part of my job. As long as this person performs on the field, then it doesn't matter if he hates that format. If he isn't performing in tests, then it is the selectors job to sack him and find a replacement. You are talking as if the cricketers are not human and cannot have an opinion on cricket. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 wat was the exact sentence?.maybe u misinterpreted it I typed it exactly as it was printed! It seems the death of test cricket is upon us. As even hardened test fans eg like many on this board seem quite happy with such attitudes and understand players not giving a dammn about tests. Its only a matter of time as evidenced by many posters. RIP tests Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 10 year olds growing up now are going to fully follow the attitudes currently prevelant in many players and fans (as evidenced by posters here) . The end of test cricket is here and coming. In 10 years time there simply will not be time for tests. As there will be 2 IPls a year, Champion 20/20 comp, and no doubt world cups yearly and other domestic leagues. That is why I said hound such people out. Everything must be done to presereve the great test cricket. It seems this is not possible though! Link to comment

Bradman99 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Tests are the pinnacle, they are what determines who is the best team. What I don't like about 20/20's are that it just takes one big innings from a player and the game is taken away from the other team. It's too fluky, you don't really get a reflection on who are the best teams. Hence Paki winning it (no offence). But this guy ahs a right to his opinion, most logically you would think it would be Yuvraj. Link to comment

Test matches usually go to the team who plays better cricket over 5 days where as T20 games can be won by one team having 10 good overs Link to comment
